20 Years Clearing Blocked Drains Across Buranda

Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, gurgling noises coming from your pipes, unpleasant odours near floor wastes, or water pooling in unexpected places. If multiple drains throughout your property are affected at once, this often points to a blockage further down the line, such as in your main sewer line, rather than an isolated issue in one fixture. A CCTV drain inspection is the most reliable way to confirm exactly what's going on inside your pipes without guesswork.

Simple blockages in a bathroom or kitchen sink can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake, but chemical drain cleaners are best avoided as they can damage older pipes and aren't particularly effective on stubborn blockages. If the problem returns quickly or affects more than one fixture, it's a sign there's a deeper issue that needs professional attention. Attempting to clear a blocked sewer pipe yourself can also risk damaging your plumbing system, so it's generally safer to call in a licensed plumber for anything beyond a minor clog.

Not necessarily. We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the inside of your pipes first, which helps us identify the exact location and cause of a blockage before recommending any repair method. Many blockages can be cleared using high-pressure water jetting alone, without any excavation required. Where pipe damage is found, trenchless solutions like pipe relining are often possible, allowing us to repair the pipe from the inside without disturbing your garden or driveway.

Regular maintenance goes a long way toward preventing blocked drains, particularly for properties with established trees nearby or older sewer pipes. Avoid putting grease, food scraps, or foreign objects down your kitchen and bathroom drains, and consider having your drains professionally cleaned on a routine basis if you've had recurring issues. For commercial properties, regular grease trap cleaning is essential to avoid blockages building up in kitchen drainage systems. If you've had persistent problems, a CCTV inspection can help identify underlying issues like root intrusion or pipe damage before they cause a full blockage.
